Easy German Apple Pancake Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 eggs eggs
• 0.5 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup white sugar, divided
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 large tart apple - peeled, cored and sliced

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add milk while stirring constantly. Stir in vanilla extract, melted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg. Allow the batter to rest for 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight.
2. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
3. Melt butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, ensuring the butter coats the sides. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of sugar, cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg. Sprinkle this sugar mixture evenly over the melted butter. Arrange apple slices to cover the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar over the apples. Place the skillet over medium-high heat until the mixture starts to bubble, then carefully pour the pancake batter over the apples.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes. Slide the apple pancake onto a serving plate and cut into wedges to serve.
